Honored to have #AcquiredTastes on display at my favorite bookstore, Princeton’s terrific @labyrinth_books.

Benjamin Cohen joins us to talk about the #history behind the corn syrup controversy, the deep roots that lie beneath our understandings of #food and purity, and how understanding this story might help us make better decisions moving forward. ▶️https://t.co/MwFW9XkLCv

How will the choices we make today shape the diets of our descendants? The book Acquired Tastes sparks this question as it explores how our current food landscape came to be.
